Seven Daughters and Seven Sons, by Barbara CohenYoung Adult, 1982
From back of the book:
Buran cannot - will not - sit quietly at home and wait to be married to the man her father chooses. Determine to use her skills and earn a fortune, she instead disguises herself as a boy and travels by camel caravan to a distant city. There, she maintains her masculine disguise and establishes a successful business. The city's crown prince comes often to her shop, and soon Buran finds herself falling in love. But if she reveals to Mahmud that she is a woman, she will lose everything she has worked for.
Trackgeek: A little bit dis-jointed by the change in the perspective of the story (between two people's experiences), but considering the story it makes sense to tell both sides. I enjoyed that this is an elaboration of an ancient story that I am not familiar with.
Graded a B+.

That sounds cool. At first I figured it was a variation of the dancing princesses but obviously I was wrong. I'll pick this up at the library this week.
